is there a compremise?
As far as our discussion in seminar goes... I honestly think that there will never be this compremise where everyone is satisfied of the outcome a movie, play, poem, script whatever brings to the table. For example: Shakespeare may write a play which in his and some other minds may be of some interest and may be viewed as admirable. Whereas, to others it may as well be written by their great great great grandparents, and just sucks and thats fine but it doesnt mean people should produce re-makes or mockeries of the work he has presented with comparisons to 10 Things I hate About You does it? Let me know what you think...;)

I personally do understand what Jackie is trying to say….. BUT I completely disagree! Things change, times change, people’s interest’s change and in order to keep the targeted audience interested change and updating is pretty much mandatory. It doesn’t matter if its plays, poems, songs, scripts or whatever…. in order to keep and maintain a good audience, writers need to make sure that whatever they are writing is updated and interesting for people today.
As far as re-writing something from the past, I don’t think that it should be seen as a “mockery” but almost as a compliment…. Obviously the first one was something of interest and what people clearly enjoyed so I think by updating it is just allowing for more viewers to see their work.. in a new modernized way! ( not a bad thing )

I agree with what your saying Jen... I think that it's important for people to experience some of the "great works" of the past. But in todays society, these works may not be as relatable as they were then so they should be redone so a greater number of people can see them and relate to them more.
